Matters of Life and Death

Product Description

God presents His people a choice between life and death. “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).

It’s clear that modern culture has rejected the life-giving truths of God’s Word. But there is hope! Families can heal, young adults can find solutions to rising suicide rates, and the church can thrive once again. Dive into the heart of our spiritual crossroads in the pages of Matters of Life and Death.

This devotional explores the Ten Commandments through the broader counsel of Scripture as found in the Law, the Prophets, the Gospels, and the Epistles. Learn about the abundant life that comes through knowing, loving, and receiving both the written Word and the living Word—Jesus Christ! Matters of Life and Death serves as a beacon of hope in a lost world because this book isn’t just about following mandates; it’s about a relationship with the Giver of Life. Through the lens of the Ten Commandments, discover the abundant life that only Christ offers, and be inspired by captivating narratives of men in history who were transformed by the truth of His Word.
